Hello! Greetings from Paris! Thanks so so much for your tutorials!!! Tell me please, what the Chinese signe means and where to buy black and red stamps for art works with different meanings? Many thanks!!
This is really cool, but why does the description say you’ll discuss techniques & materials & stuff?.. It doesn’t seem like there’s any narration in the video. Just footage of the inking process. I’d love to find out about what kind of paper & ink you’re using & to hear about the techniques, but it doesn’t seem like you say anything here.
Thank you for your comment and for watching the video! We use "Wuzhu Ink" (吳竹墨汁)in our videos, which is commonly used in Chinese painting. The brushes we use are specialized Chinese painting brushes, including "changliu" (長流筆)for initial ink application and final coloring, which are versatile and suitable for coloring, and "shanma" (山馬筆)for painting rocks, which are stiffer and ideal for dry brush effects. As for paper, we use semi-raw xuan (半生熟硬卡)paper mounted on thick boards to prevent ink bleeding and allow for natural ink flow while painting. We also use mineral pigments common in Chinese painting, known for their longevity. We apologize for any confusion regarding the video description. We assumed our audience was predominantly Mandarin-speaking and thus focused on demonstrating the painting process rather than narration. We appreciate your feedback and will incorporate more detailed explanations in future videos to better serve our subscribers. Please feel free to leave any further questions or comments, and we'll do our best to respond. Thank you again for your interest!
Hello! Can u share with me what kind of pigments or material are u using at min 21:30 ? They are ink or a sort of gouache!? Thanks a lot of, your work is amazing.
Thank you for your kind words! We use specialized mineral pigments for Chinese ink painting. The green pigment we use is called "shilü" (石綠), and the blue is called "shiqing" (石青). These pigments are made from ground minerals and mixed with glue. Since the minerals themselves do not fade, artworks made with them can last for centuries. Ancient Chinese murals and temples were also painted with mineral pigments, hence their lasting quality. You can purchase these pigments online, and I bought mine from the Chinese shopping website Taobao, under the brand Jiangsixutang (姜思序堂). Apart from powdered form, there are also pigments available in paste form. In this particular artwork, we used the paste form.
Thank you for your admiration and greetings from Mexico! We use Chinese ink painting specialized paper for our paintings. Specifically, it's a semi-ripe Xuan paper with special mounting processes common in Chinese painting. Traditionally, artists would complete their works before sending them for mounting. However, nowadays, it's easy to purchase pre-mounted blank paper online. Simply search for '半生熟宣紙軟卡' on Taobao to find various options. Happy New Year!
I don't have a specific brand preference for Chinese brushes. In Chinese painting, brushes are mainly categorized by the type of hair they're made of. For painting landscape outlines, I use a stiff wolf hair brush called 山馬筆"shanma bi." For coloring, I use another brush primarily made of goat hair, as it's better for holding color. The brush I use for fine white lines is called 長流筆"chang liu bi." You can search for "長流筆" and "山馬筆" online. Another brush I often use is called 蘭竹筆 "lanzhu bi," which is used for painting flowers and birds. Different brushes offer different strokes and effects.
Merci beaucoup pour votre aimable commentaire ! Nous utilisons du papier spécialement conçu pour la peinture chinoise, acheté sur le site chinois Taobao. Il s'agit d'un papier de riz semi-épais, spécialement renforcé avec une planche plus épaisse en dessous pour faciliter le mouvement de l'encre et des pigments, surtout lors de la réalisation de peintures éclaboussées.
Hello, i am a new subscriber. I love your loose Chinese ink painting based on Chang Daqing technique. This is how I would love to learn as much as I can from your vblog. thank you so much for demonstrating and sharing so generously! I hope i can find the Chinese Xuan paper ! 🙏
Thank you so much for sharing this episode! I love the loose ink throwing Chinese painting techniques, although i haven’t done much water color painting. ( as i am mostly a mixed media artist using acrylic and oils) But when it comes to this “throw ink” technique, i am immediately inspired. I would love to follow your channel and hope to paint alongside.👍💙🙏
